Moisture content of dried paprika was higher in vacuum freeze-dried red paprika (DRP) (11.85%) than in vacuum freeze-drying of osmotic dried red paprika in sugar (RPS), vacuum freeze-drying of osmotic dried red paprika in fructose (RPF) and vacuum freeze-drying of osmotic dried red paprika in corn syrup (RPCS). Carbohydrate content of DRP was the lowest among the dried groups, but fat, protein, and ash contents were the highest in DRP. The pH of paprika was the highest in RPF (5.34), while it was the lowest in DRP (5.05). Reducing sugar and sugar contents of RPF were 28.59 g/100 g and 5.03 °Brix, respectively, which are the highest level among the groups. All color values in inside of paprika were the highest in RPCS, while in outside of paprika, L value is the highest in RPCS, and the value of a, b were the highest in RPS. Regarding the texture characteristics of paprika, strongness, hardness, adhesiveness, chewiness and brittleness were the highest in RPS (p<0.05).

The purpose of study was to evaluate quality, physicochemical and sensory characteristics of acorn Sulgidduk by addition of acorn powder. Acorn Sulgidduk was processed rice powder which added 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of acorn powder. The moisture, crude lipid, and crude ash contents of Sulgidduk added with acorn powder was increased by addition amount of acorn powder, but carbohydrate and crude protein contents were decreased. By addition amount of acorn powder, soluble protein content of Sulgidduk were increased, but reducing sugar content were decreased. The L values of Sulgidduk were decreased by addition amount of acorn powder, but increased the a and b values. The hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, springness and chewiness were decreased by addition amount of acorn powder. The sensory test of Sulgidduk added 10% of acorn powder showed the best score in overall preference. Therefore, these results suggested that Sulgidduk added 10% of acorn powder could be applied for produce of acorn Sulgidduk.
